Either one of Queen Charlotte's dogs, Phoebe or Mercury, e.g (10)

I believe the answer is:

pomeranian

(Other definitions for pomeranian that I've seen before include "Polish dog breed" , "one with a tendency to yap" , "Bismarck wanted to save his bones" , "Dog (from Poland or Germany?)" , "Dog akin to spitz" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
